hello there xda users
i have recently bricked my phone and managed to reflash the firmware, but, i had to add the bootloader file with the split firmware package.
what i want to do is install the latest XXLD3 firmware on top of the current s5830ixxkk5/gingerbread.xxlk1 firmware package but im worried because i am thinking that the bootloader file has to be the same as the firmware if you know what i mean. can i install the xxld3 on the xxkk5 bootloader without bricking my phone again? any help would be appreciated. thanks

I think you can try by flashing complete (3 files package) of XXLD3 via odin & then flash only the bootloader file of XXKK5 via odin. I have not tried it before and i'm not sure but i think it should work. In worst case you can always revert to XXKK5 via odin, as long as you can access the download/odin mode :good:
After installing, I see the message "could not find SIM card"
Wifi does not work
Unlocked bootloader
Installed via CWM
Might try flashing latest radio via Flashtool.

Where can I get it ?
Download a latest firmware ftf for your phone and flash it via Flashtool.. Unckeck all but baseband before starting
Hello all. I'm having some trouble getting my note 5 to work again. I downloaded the new Marshmallow update today from sammobile and proceeded to flash it with odin. After 10 seconds I got the fail red box in odin, disconnected my phone and got this error: '' an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software''.
So I went ahead and read in a couple of forums and saw that people got their phones working back using Kies. I did that. Entered my model number (sm-n920g) and entered the serial number. Kies then started to download the firmware and the recovery failed. I have no idea what to do really. Should I try using the Smart Switch program instead? Flashing a lollipop one via odin? Or what? I've never had any trouble before flashing stock roms or customs on any of my other phones, so I'm getting a bit frustrated after Kies didn't work. Any recommendations would be gladly appreciated!
I would personally go back and flash the stock lollipop firmware and double check that the marshmallow update you are using is not corrupted. Also, make sure to use twrp 3.0.1 as a recovery. I was having boot loops at first until I discovered the correct recovery file.

Well the lollipop stock rom failed too. I'm getting an error in the download mode that says SW REV CHECK FAIL. Don't know what it means or how to fix it, but I'm currently not able to flash anything. What can I do??

Please make sure the download is not corrupted or ensure you are using the correct firmware file.

Hey there, I ran into a similar problem and my problem was the reactivation lock under settings, security, I had it turned on. I'm not sure about your case but if you do have it on.....turn it off. Good luck.

But you said you flashed pre rooted firmware from recovery.
Clean flash stock ftf file from flashtool in flash mode then report.

What options are you choosing to flash in flashtool. Select wipe all and don't exclude anything in flashtool. Try that.

Flashed in that manner only. Wiping all and not excluding anything.
I have a doubt. There is nothing related to 'Baseband' in contents list or in exclude?
I read somewhere that i need to flash baseband from ftf in order to fix. Is it true?

Bro all you need is a sony flashtool, sony pc companion, your z1, and some patience.
first of all make a ftf of original firmware for you device this might help second step flash the ftf which you made using flashtool (remember this ftf is the orignal copy of stock firmware).
after flash process finished just simply turn on your device and this might get back your modem's and signal and yes your imei number as how it should be.
